N73 Copy & Paste

I've had this phone for over a year now and have, to my shame, only just figured out how to copy and paste.  I had an inkling it could do it because there's an option in your call log to "Use Number" where one of the sub-menu options is "Copy"; which just made it more frustrating that I couldn't figure out how to paste!!

Anyway, it turns out to be an amazingly simple mechanism using the edit key (the one on the bottom left with the pencil icon on it - I knew it had to have some purpose!!). Thanks to some person called Walker for his generic guide to Symbian Series 60 functionality.

Copy: To copy text to the clipboard, hold the pencil/edit key until Copy appears on the screen above the right soft-key and scroll using the joystick to select the text. When you've selected the text to copy, just hit Copy.

Paste: To paste text from the clipboard, move the cursor to where you want to paste and hold the pencil key until Paste appears on the screen by your right soft key. When it appears and then press the right soft key to paste.

Change TCP/IP using command line

This is very helpful for the people they connecting their laptop to their different office. Those office having different TCP/IP setting.

Ex.

Office 1 using static ip address

Office 2 using dynamic ip address.

 

Soln

Create a batchfile for office 1

C:\ip\Office1.bat

netsh interface ip set address name="Wireless Network Connection" static 172.18.11.100 255.255.248.0 172.18.8.1 1

netsh interface ip add dns "Wireless Network Connection" 172.18.9.1

netsh interface ip add dns "Wireless Network Connection" 172.18.9.2

 

Create a batchfile for office 2

C:\ip\Office2.bat

netsh interface ip set address "Wireless Network Connection" dhcp

netsh interface ip set dns "Wireless Network Connection" dhcp

 

right click on cmd.exe run as Administrator

go to c:\ip

execute whichever you want.

Or u can right click on your batch file run as administrator.

 

Similary you can add other details for your TCP/IP connection

For Dns

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10

For WINS

netsh interface ip set wins "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10

I hope this is very useful for the people those who are swapping different TCP/IP settings for the connection 


Note : instead of  "Local Area Connection"  or "Wireless Network Connection" change your Network connection name
